This is a picture I took at Ubume and wanted to keep it in-theme with the game. The title is based off the idea that “she confessed” to the popular guy and someone or someones weren’t too pleased with that, and this is the result. Was a lot of fun to set up and put together. As always, magical gravity defying second life hair but beyond that, I’m content.

A few items that are available at The Crystal Heart Fair, and a few absolutely adorable Evermore items, like the Milk, which is at this months round of SaNaRae. I actually wanted the black version of this cute seifuku, but I got every color but! Most of my friends wear size small or extra-small, but I wear medium, so I haven’t had any luck getting it from someone else. Regardless, I thought it look absolutely adorable paired with the socks and these amazing shoes from The Sugar Garden.

It’s Summer! Japonica just opened and it offers literally everything you’ll need to head off to any summer festivals. There just so happens to be fireworks on the sim adjacent to it, which is where I took this photo. There won’t be an accompanying outfit image, however, the credits will be below!

Another outfit post without any artistic picture. Sometimes I just don’t have time or I struggle with finding a place to take pictures. I honestly have a ton of outfits I’ve not shared recently just because I’ve not figured out how to photograph them. This week I’ll try to get some of my old outfits out but I can make no promises since Overwatch is launching.

The Fantasy Collective is now open, as is Whimsical and a ton of other events. There’s never a dull moment really with how many events there are in SL these days. You’re always going somewhere to check out new releases. Besides all these events, I’m trying to go through my inventory, but once I try to do so, it scares me…

I played around at Epiphany a lot. I’m not typically one for gachas, but I played most of the machines and was able to trade rares I didn’t want for rares I wanted with other people in the Epiphany group. For gacha events, probably the best around and the most fair.

I really loved the machines for candydoll, blueberry, atomic and evermore. I still want to exclusive from evermore before the event is over, and I’ve picked up basically every version of the atomic skins in both tones, including the exclusives. Really, really great event round.

New round of We Love Roleplay is about to start! I’m highlighting a few items you can pick up in June from PFC, ANE and ieQED. As always, high quality items at discounts a whole month, so be sure not to miss out, otherwise you’ll find this rounds items (and all previous round items) at each stores main store for full price.

As a creator in a 3D environment and one who’s become outdated due to the successful switch from sculpted prims to rigged (and unrigged) mesh, I understand the importance of learning mesh and more-so, the benefit not only within Second Life that it has. Mesh as a whole is what is used in all games — from the Sims to games like American Mcgee’s Alice, World of Warcraft, Tera, Skyrim. Anything that has clothing or objects that attach to a skeleton for a character are mesh and are rigged to that skeleton so that they bend, bunch or tug where needed when there is motion. Of course, this is also why so many things from these games are being ripped and stolen and imported in to SL, which is a shame.

I’m a firm supporter of original content and as I creator myself I enjoy buying products that are unique and even more-so, things that aren’t from templates. I do understand that this could be a tough obstacle for many creators though — the idea of being able to independently create their own rigged products but I’m not the only one with that thought. A band of amazing mesh builders have come together to make amazing video tutorials and courses for anyone with the determination to learn to build mesh. Clothing, Accessories and even Landscaping.

As a part of the Gorean Community, I can appreciate the creators of these courses even more. Leviathan Flux of Rochambeau, Thord Karu of Primus and Anhandreu Reiderer of AC Weapons worked together to offer an affordable online course tailored specifically for those looking to build mesh within Secondlife.

I personally can say that these courses are something I’m looking forward to taking myself so that I can finally catch up with where the market is going in Second Life, and just like one of the reviews highlighted by one of their happy customers, these courses teach you Maya — not Blender. Maya is one of the most widely used, prominent and professional-grade 3D design programs in the field. If you envision Second Life as a beginning to a career in 3D design, these courses are a great step in that direction. Mesh Rigging and Content Creators are always needed at Game Companies.
